Example of Observing Resin Bottle Containing Hair Coloring Agent Using a Microfocus X-Ray CT System

User Benefits

- The three-dimensional shape of resin bottles and hair coloring agents can be visualized non-destructively and easily. - It is possible to check whether there is any abnormality in the product by observing the leakage condition of resin bottles.

Introduction

Resin bottles are widely used as packaging containers for various liquids because they are lightweight, inexpensive to manufacture, and strong enough for use. The required strength, chemical resistance, weather resistance, flame resistance, and other properties vary depending on the contents. However, it is important for all applications to ensure that the contents do not leak through the gap between the bottle and the cap. There are various methods of checking the leakage of liquid from the gap between the bottle and the cap, such as visual inspection, inspection using coloring with dye or developer, and inspection of gas pressure and flow rate. However, even if these tests reveal the presence of a leak, it is often difficult to determine the details of where the leak occurred, or it is often necessary to destroy the bottle in the inspection. Therefore, the Microfocus X-ray CT system is a useful tool for non-destructively observing the presence of defects that cause liquid leakage from resin bottles. This article introduces an example of a resin bottle containing a hair coloring agent that was observed using a microfocus X-ray CT system, the inspeXio SMX -225 CT FPD HR Plus.
